This code performs the following steps:

1. Convert the 'Date' column to datetime format:

   df['Date'] = pd.to_datetime(df['Date'])
   

   This ensures that the column Date in the DataFrame df is converted to a proper datetime type, facilitating datetime-based operations.

2. Extract the day of the week:

   df['DayOfWeek'] = df['Date'].dt.day_name()
   

   This adds a new column DayOfWeek to the DataFrame df, which contains the day of the week (e.g., 'Monday', 'Tuesday', etc.) corresponding to each date in the Date column.

3. Filter prices for Wednesdays:

   wednesday_prices = df[df['DayOfWeek'] == 'Wednesday'].iloc[:, 3]
   

   This filters the DataFrame for rows where the DayOfWeek column is 'Wednesday'. Then, it selects all values from the fourth column (index 3) in those filtered rows. The assumption here is that the fourth column contains the data you want to process (e.g., prices for products or stocks).

4. Calculate the mean for Wednesday prices:

   mean_wed = statistics.mean(wednesday_prices)
   

   This computes the mean (average) of the extracted Wednesday prices using the statistics.mean function.

Purpose: The code ultimately calculates the average (mean) of the values in the fourth column (interpreted as prices) for all rows where the date corresponds to a Wednesday.
